תפילהWelcome to the JEDLAB Tefillah Curriculum Wiki!
This wiki is a space for collaborative work by the JEDLAB network. Our focus here is tefillah--Jewish prayer: this space is for the gathering, creation and editing of resources to support our work.

It is up to us as a community to determine how we use this space and how it comes alive.

In keeping with the JEDLAB ethos, this is a space for experimentation and play, for collaboration and partnership, for risk over safety, for push over pull.


This is YOUR wiki. It belongs to JEDLAB. That means that it's up to us as a collective to work together to create something new. Please abide by general good wiki use: if you're going to edit, be careful, respectful and helpful, and always strive for correct information. The best knowledge is like cream: it will rise to the top.













What is a wiki? (from Wikipedia)
A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, for personal note taking, and in knowledge management systems.

Why should we use a wikispace?
This is a space for online collaboration where we can share ideas and documents, take notes, create new projects and work, experiment with new technology and build new relationships and partnerships. Best of all, this space can evolve into a place where we problemsolve and brainstorm together, as we work to make a difference in our own settings and impact the field. Dream big, and we can use this space in whatever way suits our needs.

Why is a wiki important?
We know that JEDLAB serves as one of our professional networks, a community of critical colleagues who share a common set of values and concerns. A wiki enables us to systematically share our knowledge, expertise and tools in order to improve our practice and interact on an ongoing basis. We do this, because...

Wisdom resides in the skills, understandings, and relationships …
as well as in the tools, documents, and processes of practitioners in the field.

This wiki is also is a byproduct of and a continuation of our playtime together and will become a portfolio of our collaborations over time.
